The Missing Mitten Mystery

THE MISSING MITTEN MYSTERY

The Missing Mitten Mystery is a fun winter read aloud by Steven Kellogg. It's fun to introduce your Kindergarten and First Grade students to the mystery genre, as they follow the clues in the story to find out what happened to Annie's missing mitten!

THE MISSING MITTEN MYSTERY BOOK ACTIVITIES AND TEACHING IDEAS

Annie has lost her red mitten, so she and her dog Oscar go out and look for it. They retrace their steps of a day spent playing in the snow with friends. Students will love joining the hunt for the missing mitten!

As Annie retraces her steps throughout the day, we learn what fun winter activities she did. It's fun to make text to self connections to see if students do similar activities in the snow.
